What Our Customers Are Saying
They did excellent work. I would use their services in the future too.
You may not realize it, but your commercial garage door is the heart of your day-to-day business. It’s where you receive stock, send out shipments, enter the facility and much more. The key to keeping your door, the opener and major components operational long-term is regular maintenance. If you’re only calling for garage door repair after something goes wrong, you’re significantly wearing down the related systems and components. Each failure adds stress to parts that are working fine.
For a commercial garage door, malfunctions mean costly downtime. It’s important to get the necessary repairs done as soon as possible, or avoid them altogether with regular garage door tuneup services.
What is a Garage Door Tuneup?
Consistent tuneups will keep your garage door, mechanical components and the opener in working condition and optimal shape. That extends the lifespan of all devices and systems involved, and also keeps your business from dealing with inaccessible entry or docking points.
A garage door inspection and tuneup typically follows this process:
- A spring and cable check with the necessary adjustments.
- Tightened hardware, including screws, fasteners and tracks.
- A hinge and track assessment to check for obstructions, damage or major signs of wear.
- Gear and sensor tests to ensure they’re working properly.
- Moving parts are checked with lubrication applied to prevent grinding or premature failures.
- Weather seal verification — the weather stripping around seams — to ensure they’re not leaking, cracked or damaged.
- Garage door opener inspection.
Garage door tuneups should be handled by experienced professionals, whether it’s a residential garage door or a commercial one. Working with springs and cables can be extremely dangerous, as can tracks, moving parts like gears and electronics, such as sensors or garage door openers. We do not recommend attempting maintenance yourself or in-house.
It’s a process that requires specific knowledge of variable systems. If you can’t define the difference between springs, coils or tracks, you’ll want to get in touch with a professional for repairs and tuneups.
The Benefits of Garage Door Tuneup Services
Kitsap area business owners should be mindful of how the locale affects the garage door and its components. The weather, especially the cold, can have a huge impact on the performance of commercial garage doors and wear down parts and electronics. They might appear to be fine or functioning normally, but that’s not always the case.
In addition to fending off wear and tear, regularly scheduled tuneup services can prevent further damage caused by deteriorating weather seals, spring and coil breakdowns, lack of gear lubrication and more.
The Kitsap Garage Door team offers preventive maintenance to address issues and concerns before they become much bigger problems. It’s not a simple matter of replacing parts or repairing broken elements like hinges or springs — it’s about keeping everything running optimally and within healthy parameters to extend the lifetime of the door and the opener. These precautions have the added benefit of preventing downtime or failure altogether.
Well-kept garage doors:
- Support better business and facility safety.
- Maintain a professional appearance.
- Offer improved worker and employee safety.
- Stop all weather-related incidents, such as frozen doors.
